Whats the issue/problem with the loaded chamber indicator?

Some people think it can cause chambering problems. The next cartridge does push it out so I can see how it might.

It is not needed in any way. If you follow the first rule of gun safety you don't need to look at a loaded chamber indicator because you will assume it is loaded and you will act as if it is loaded.

love my drop free mag 22/45. I am no help, had to goto a gunsmith to put mine together after trying to do the kross swap.

MK III's suck worse than the II's as far as disassembly. I've quit messing with mine and just clean the barrel with a copper wire brush, feed ramp and bolt with a plastic brush and liberal amounts of spray brake cleaner. Finish with WD40 and a rag, then a tiny bit of grease on the friction areas.

IMO- semi auto rimfire weapons get more wear & tear from working on them than they do from actually shooting.

Love my Ruger .22 pistols. One of the best skill developers I've ever used.

I once heard it said the mkiii was designed by lawyers

I usually run mine to failure then clean. At that point I will go and completely disassemble it. I agree it should be a rite of passage

Now that it has the Tandemkross bushing in place and the hated mag disconnect is gone; life with my MK III is "livable" again. The thing is great shooter, but it can sure wear your patience thin.
